Merging with Buenos Aires


My Spanish is getting better and better despite there is still a lot to do. Since I last wrote, I met Portenos, and visit new places and museums in Buenos Aires. On of them is the Botanical Garden**. This place is very special in the sense that it is a paradise for cats. They are everywhere, fooling between exotic trees and statues. In spite of this particularity it is a nice place to escape the noisy streets of Buenos Aires. I have to say that I had to get used to the noise in the Capital Federal. The buses (colectivos), which are coming from another epoch, are sometimes as noisy as a 747 taking off.
Another particularity of Buenos Aires is that some of the inhabitants always keep 20 centimetres between their head and their cellular. I could get an explanation yet.
Finally after a huge party with my flatmates on Friday I went to the Museo National de Bellas Artes**. The museum was interesting but I think that the real curiosity lies behind the MNBA. It is huge steel and aluminium sculpture by Edouardo Catalano: Floralis Genérica***. Its six petals open each day as the sun raises and close at dusk.
